Side Chick Era... Over

Chapter 530

Sharon listened quietly as Abby recounted the gossip.

Through her words, Sharon pieced together a picture: Victoria had no shortage of admirers. And the men who admired her were all remarkable in their own right.

In that crowd of elite young men, Cole didn’t even make the list.

Abby said, “Honestly, Cole was never really Victoria’s fiancé. It was just something the parents joked about back in the day. They grew up together, that’s all. Neither of them took the so-called engagement seriously. And to be honest, he’s not in her league. Even his uncle is more impressive than he is.”

interested in Victoria.

Knowing he had little chance, Cole simply stayed by her side in silence, offering quiet protection.

Apparently, someone from the Ferrero family liked Victoria as well, though Abby wasn’t close with them and only knew of it through whispers from other young ladies.
